Hi everyone! If anyone is interested in helping me get the classroom ready tomorrow, please let me know. I have different jobs for you!
You can organize the desks and seats
Organize materials
Use the binding machine and put together spiral bound books for me
Make posters
Help with bulletin boards
You can come anytime after 12:00. The doors will probably be locked, but Maria can let you in at the Annex link door. I would suggest calling first (773-534-4125) and speaking with Maria. She can call me over the intercom and I can verify a time for you to come in!
Thanks!

WHAT IS AN EXPECTATION?
If you google "expectation," you will find many results. An expectation is a belief centered on the future. There are unrealistic expectations, meaning they probably won't happen, but not because they are not POSSIBLE. Your actions directly affect the outcome.
I found an interesting quote: "people become accustomed to positive or negative life experiences which lead to favorable or unfavorable expectations of their present and near-future circumstances."
Think about this. What does this mean? Basically, if you are always negative and expect the negative, that will probably be the future. But magic can happen if you are positive and take control of your destiny! Your future is yours and yours alone.
The school year is almost here. Take this opportunity to reflect on last year and think about what worked and what didn't.
Did your nightly homework schedule work? If not, change it!
Did you stay up to date on deadlines, due dates, and homework assignments. If not, make a mental note to use your agenda every day in every class!
Did you do your VERY BEST every day? If you didn't, you are selling yourself short.
What you do NOW affects your FUTURE. Do you want to be admired because you worked hard to achieve your goals? Do you want to be a success story? Do you want to motivate other people to succeed? It starts NOW.
Do you want to be an explorer? A dreamer? A writer? A scientist? An educator? A pioneer? A musician? An engineer? A leader? An artist? A world traveler? Something that I haven't thought of that you dream of every day? It starts NOW. You are those things NOW... if you want to be.
